Chapter 197 The Old Lady is in Trouble
Shen Yitian felt the same way as Fuguier.
She also liked the feeling of flying around, but she was not as shameless as Fuguier, so she didn't have the nerve to tell Ye Liehu that she also wanted to learn martial arts.
Of course, she was not prepared to get up earlier than the chickens every day.
Because he was afraid that she would hit him on the head again, Fuguier always walked seven or eight steps behind her.
Shen Yitian walked fast, and he walked fast too.
Shen Yitian walked slowly, and he walked slowly too.
If he wasn't a child, Shen Yitian would have thought he was going to harm her.
Shengsheng held back her laughter as she watched the two of them pulling each other.
All the way to the new house, the big and the small kept a distance of seven or eight steps between them.
Yue Niang saw it from a distance and thought Fugui'er was doing something behind her.
When I walked closer and asked, I found out that he was afraid of being hit by Shen Yitian.
What could she say? She could only laugh.
After so many busy days, a lot of furniture has been made in the new house.
According to Grandma Li, a few more cabinets, two beds, a few tables and a few dozen chairs would be enough.
Shen Yitian expressed her incomprehension. She only lived here with Grandma Li and a few others, so why did she need so many cabinets and tables?
But Grandma Li said that this was Shen Zhuohang's order, and if the fight wasn't done well, he would probably blame her.
Because the original owner's love-sickness hurt her original family, Shen Yitian always felt guilty towards them.
Anyway, these are just trivial matters and she doesn't need to worry about them. Just let Grandma Li handle it.
As long as she and the Shen family are happy.
After taking a walk around the new house and sharing some of her thoughts with Grandma Li, she followed Grandma Li to the Song family.
Of course, she went to the second branch of the Song family, that is, Song Wan's home.
As for those people like Second Aunt Song, she now stays as far away from them as possible. It would be best if they never have any intersection with each other.
When they saw Shen Yitian coming over, everyone in the second branch of the Song family was extremely happy.
Since it was daytime, young and strong people like Song Wanshi went out fishing.
There was only Old Lady Song Er at home taking care of a few children, and the children were each doing their own things.
Some were washing clothes, some were cleaning the yard, and some were reading books.
Everyone was working quietly while the old lady was basking in the sun in the yard. The scene looked harmonious and warm.
Seeing Shen Yitian coming in, the old lady stood up and took a few steps to greet her, but was then pulled by Shen Yitian to sit back down.
The old lady was a straightforward person. When she saw Shen Yitian coming, she asked directly:
"Miss Shen, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
Shen Yitian likes to talk to such straightforward people, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.
Grandma Li asked Shengsheng to move a chair out, and Shen Yitian sat next to the old lady with a smile on her face.
"I'm here to look for Sister Wan, but before that, I have something I want to ask the old lady for help."
"Oh, what can an old lady like me do to help Miss Shen? Miss Shen is too kind to me." Old Mrs. Song Er smiled awkwardly.
Shen Yitian knew that she would not agree immediately, otherwise she would not be considered a businessman.
She smiled and said, "Madam, please listen to me first and then decide if you can help me. If you can, I would like to ask Sister Wan to go to the county town and help me run the restaurant."
First, bring out your own advantages and let the other party know that helping others is beneficial.
The other party is a businessman, and Shen Yitian feels that only in this way will the other party be interested in continuing the conversation with her.
When the old lady heard that she was asked to help run the restaurant, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, he shook his head with some regret.
"Miss, you mean well, but we are exiled prisoners and cannot leave here."
What the old lady said was true.
It took Shen Yitian a lot of effort to go to the county town.
After the restaurant is opened, she will need to visit the county town from time to time.
No matter how reliable the person she finds is, she still has to check on him from time to time.
And for all this, she needs to be able to leave Cat Ear Village at any time.
If she wanted to leave at any time, it would obviously not work to start with Maidong. This person was full of evil ideas and who knew what he wanted from her.
However, she found that these things were not impossible to compromise.
After thinking about it, it’s just a matter of money.
She didn't plan to try Luo Xuan, so she decided to send someone to Nanwu City directly.
The prefect didn't know what was happening to the person, so he sent someone to check it out first. If that didn't work, he would write a letter to his second brother to see if there was any other way.
As long as she doesn't leave Lingnan, these things should not be difficult to accomplish.
These things can’t be rushed, but you have to find the right person first.
The first person she wanted to find was Song Wanshi.
This is a very smart woman. I heard that she has managed a restaurant and worked as a female manager before.
She doesn't know many people now, so she can only choose reliable ones from the limited group.
He told his thoughts to Old Lady Song Er, and the old lady listened very seriously.
They all came from the capital, so Old Lady Song was very clear about how capable the Shen family was.
If you really put in the effort, these things are not difficult.
"It seems that Miss Shen is really determined to accomplish this, but my granddaughter-in-law may be too dull to handle the heavy responsibility." The old lady sighed, a little worried.
The customs and habits of Lingnan are different from those of the capital. As outsiders, they are not very clear about the taboos and beliefs of the people here.
If you suddenly want to open a restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be that smooth.
She also told Shen Yitian about her concerns, but Shen Yitian still insisted, so she naturally agreed.
"In that case, what does Miss Shen want me to do?" she asked with a smile.
She knew very well that Shen Yitian's action was helping her family.
After all, for Song Wanshi, letting her be a shopkeeper is much easier than letting her go fishing at sea every day.
In the past two days, they couldn't even pay the share that everyone was supposed to pay, and they had to pay the debt every day with silver.
If this continues, their family will inevitably be dragged down.
The old lady didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money.
So as long as Shen Yitian’s request is not excessive, she will agree to it.
But the next moment, what Shen Yitian said made her a little embarrassed.
Shen Yitian said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Xia'er is being raised by Yue Niang. I think during the day when everyone is working, let Fugui'er and Xia'er come to your place and you will be responsible for raising them."
"You mean, let me educate Song Xiaer?" The old lady raised her voice, obviously feeling that Shen Yitian's words were a bit outrageous.
She only mentioned Song Xiaer but not Fuguier, obviously thinking it was absurd to ask her to raise Song Xiaer.
"Well, Yue Niang has to work every day and really doesn't have time to teach them. Children of this age need discipline." Shen Yitian said softly.
"That being said, this Song Xiaer..." The old lady looked at her with some embarrassment.
"You also know that I have never gotten along with the people from the first wife. You have also drawn a clear line with them, so why bother getting involved in this mess again? You know that the people from the first wife of the Song family are all blood-sucking leeches." The old lady shook her head, and her face was full of disgust when she mentioned the people from the first wife.
